the best way is to see if works is to put the code on your site, click it and see if it takes you to paypal to purchase what you want.

Do a search for Paypal sandbox. It's a test site just for testing paypal payments.

To elaborate on jpr28056's post, go to
https://developer.paypal.com/
You have to create a sandbox account and from there you can create 'fake' PayPal buyer/seller accounts with how ever much money you want.
Next, you have to modify your site's settings to send PayPal forms to "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" with method "post"
Next, change your PayPal form's seller email to a seller account created at PayPal Sandbox.
Try buying an item with a buyer account created at PayPal Sandbox.
Note that you have to restore the settings once testing is done.
That's pretty much how Sandbox works, here's the guide if you want it: https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/U..._UserGuide.pdf

It doesn't matter why you threadjacked, it's bad netiquette. This is an old thread about how to test PayPal integration, not about whether Perl scripts are working.
